and this Agreement shall be deemed terminated (and the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer) upon Buyer’s timely delivery of such termination notice. In the event Buyer fails to deliver written notice of termination to Seller on or before the Feasibility

(d) During the term of this Agreement, Seller shall cause the Project to be managed and
operated in a manner consistent with past practice. After the Feasibility Study Termination Date (if this Agreement is still in effect) Seller shall not, without Buyer's consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, enter into or extend:

by Seller prior to Closing; or
(ii) any service or other contract regarding the Property for a term which will extend
past the Closing Date.
(e) During the term of this Agreement, Seller shall not knowingly take any action which
would cause any representation, warranty or covenant set out herein to be untrue as of Closing without Buyer’s prior consent.
(f) During the term of this Agreement and extending beyond Closing, Seller shall: (i)
reasonably cooperate at no cost to Seller with Buyer’s efforts to obtain permits and approvals respecting Buyer’s Project signage, provided any such signage approvals shall not be binding upon the Property until after Closing and Buyer securing such
signage approvals shall not be a condition of Closing; and (ii) at no cost to Seller, provide to Buyer any financial information for the Property requested in connection with reporting requirements, to the extent reasonably requested or required by any
governmental authority and within Seller’s possession or control, related to securities laws, including but not limited to, Rule 8.06 of Regulation S-X and Form 8-K. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller shall sign applications for
permits respecting Buyer’s signage for the Property upon Buyer’s request. Buyer, at no additional cost to Buyer, shall have the right to use Seller’s existing Property signage for a period not to exceed 120 days following the Closing Date. This Paragraph
5(f) shall survive Closing.
(g) On or before the Feasibility Study Termination Date, Buyer shall provide written
notice to Seller indicating which Contracts (if any) Buyer elects to assume at Closing and if Buyer fails to provide timely written notice thereof then Buyer shall be deemed to have agreed to accept and assume such Contracts effective as of Closing.
In the event Buyer fails to terminate this Agreement on or before the Feasibility Study Termination Date, then the Deposit shall be non-refundable except as otherwise provided under this Agreement.
6. Closing. Closing of the transaction contemplated herein ("Closing")
shall be a remote Closing by escrow, on a date (the "Closing Date") selected by Buyer which is not later than fifteen (15) days after the Feasibility Study Termination Date, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.
7. Evidence and Condition of Title.
(a) At Closing, Seller shall cause title to the Property (other than the Personalty) to be
fee simple and: (i) good and marketable, in accordance with the terms hereof, subject to the Leases; and (ii) insurable as such, at regular rates, by Title Company. Title to the Personalty shall be conveyed in AS IS condition, and said Personalty
shall be free and clear of all liens, leases, security interests and other encumbrances.
(b) Buyer shall order a commitment for title insurance from Title Company (the "Title Commitment").
Buyer shall have the option to deliver written notice to Seller of the existence of any requirements, conditions or exceptions noted in the Title Commitment or a current survey of the Project which are unsatisfactory to Buyer within twenty (20) days
after the Effective Date (such exceptions being called "Title Defects"), with which Buyer shall include a copy of the Title Commitment, copies of recorded exceptions specified therein and, at Buyer’s option, a current survey of the Project. If
Buyer fails to notify Seller in writing of any Title Defects in a timely manner then Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its right to raise any objection to such Title Defects.
(c) (i) If Buyer notifies Seller of the existence of any Title Defects in a timely manner, Seller shall have five (5) days from the date of such notice to notify Buyer whether Seller intends to cure such Title Defects, except
that in all cases Seller must discharge at or prior to Closing all Seller-related and Manager-related monetary liens affecting the Property. Seller's failure to notify Buyer within such 5-day period shall be conclusively deemed to be Seller's notice
to Buyer of Seller's decision not to cure the Title Defects, except such Seller-related and Manager-related monetary liens.
(ii) If Buyer notifies Seller of the existence of any Title Defects in a timely manner as
aforesaid and Seller notifies, or is deemed to have notified, Buyer of its intention not to cure all Title Defects, Buyer shall have five (5) days thereafter to notify Seller in writing of its decision whether to take such title as Seller may give or
of terminating this Agreement, and in the latter event, the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer and this Agreement shall terminate. If Buyer fails to timely notify Seller within such five (5) day period, then Buyer shall be deemed to accept
such title as Seller may give, except that Seller shall remain obligated to discharge at or prior to Closing all Seller related monetary liens affecting the Property.
(d) If Seller agrees to cure any Title Defects and such Title Defects remain uncured at
Closing, then Buyer may, at Buyer’s option, as its sole and exclusive remedy for such failure to cure: (i) take such title as Seller can give, with a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount necessary to cure or correct any Title Defects which
constitute monetary liens (as reasonably determined by Buyer); or (ii) elect to receive a return of the Deposit, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate. If additional Title Defects created after the issuance of the Title Commitment exist at the time
of Closing, then the parties shall have the same rights and obligations with respect to such additional Title Defects as they do with respect to objections to the initial Title Commitment.
(e) Subject to Paragraph 5(d)(i), Seller shall not transfer or encumber the
Property, or any part thereof, during the term of this Agreement.
(f) The Property shall be conveyed subject to the following matters which shall not be
deemed a Title Defect:
i. The lien of real estate taxes not yet due and payable and water and
sewer charges not yet due and payable as of the date of the Closing Date; and
ii. All present and future zoning, building, environmental and other
laws, ordinances, codes, restrictions and regulations of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction with respect to the Property, including, without limitation, landmark designations and all zoning variances and special exceptions, if any, which
are not violated by the existing structures or present use thereof and which do not render title uninsurable; and
iii. Rights of the tenants of the Property pursuant to the Leases.

Closing Date. Seller shall retain the right to the refund of all utility deposits. With respect to any utility adjustment, Seller shall obtain meter (or other measuring device) readings of the utility consumption as of the Closing Date and, wherever
possible, Seller shall pay directly to the utility company the amount determined to be due as of the Closing Date.
This Paragraph 9 shall survive Closing.
10. Transfer
Taxes and Other Costs. The payment of all state, local and municipal transfer taxes and documentary stamp charges (if any) arising from the sale of the Property and the recordation of the Deed shall be paid by Seller. Seller shall pay all of
the Deed recording charges and all costs in connection with Expansion Permits and Approvals. Buyer shall pay the cost of any title endorsements selected by Buyer. Seller shall pay all costs and expenses in connection with termination of the
Management Agreement. Buyer and Seller shall each pay one half of all applicable closing fees (including, without limitation, such fees imposed by the Title Company). Seller shall (a) pay all sales taxes and other taxes respecting the Property and/or
the Seller incurred or imposed in connection with any period during Seller’s ownership of the Property and (b) indemnify, hold harmless and defend Buyer (using counsel selected by Buyer) against all claims, losses, costs, demands and liabilities in
connection with the foregoing Paragraph 10(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnity provided under the foregoing Paragraph 10(b) shall not pertain to sales tax liabilities of Seller in the event that the New York State
Department of Tax and Finance issues a sales tax release on Form AU-197.1 in response to the submission of Form AU-196.10 under Section 8(c) hereof. Buyer shall pay all survey costs and the cost of a base owner’s title policy. In the event

This Paragraph 10 shall survive Closing.
11. Title Company as Deposit Holder.
(a) Title Company shall hold the Deposit in an interest-bearing account and shall disburse
the Deposit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon such disbursement, Title Company shall be released and discharged from all obligations hereunder.
(b) Title Company, in its sole discretion, may at any time deposit the Deposit, with a
court of competent jurisdiction selected by it and, in such event, Title Company shall be fully released and discharged from all obligations hereunder with respect to the Deposit. Alternatively, Title Company may hold the Deposit pending receipt of
joint instructions from Seller and Buyer.
(c) The duties of Title Company hereunder are only as herein specifically provided and are
purely ministerial in nature. Title Company shall incur no liability whatever, as long as Escrow Agent acts in good faith. Title Company may refuse to take any action respecting the Deposit or this Agreement, unless indemnified to its satisfaction by
Buyer and/or Seller.
(d) Seller and Buyer agree to sign an escrow agreement if requested by the Title Company.
12. Insurance. Until the transfer of title to the Project to Buyer, risk of loss
to the Project shall be upon Seller. Seller shall maintain in effect until the Closing Date insurance policies with respect to the Property for the full insurable value thereof. In the event of damage to the Property by fire or any other casualty,
Seller shall promptly notify Buyer and this Agreement shall not be affected thereby, provided the cost of repairing such damage shall not exceed the sum of $75,000.00, and provided all such costs are covered by such policies or Seller shall, in its
sole discretion, agree to pay any deficiency, to be specified in Seller's notice. If, however, damage caused by fire or other casualty insured under such policies shall exceed $75,000.00, or if the damage is not fully covered by such policies and
Seller does not agree to pay Buyer at Closing the cost of repairing the uncovered damage, Buyer shall have the right and option to cancel and terminate this Agreement by giving notice to Seller within fifteen (15) days after Buyer receives Seller's
notification of such damage. Thereupon, Buyer shall be entitled to promptly receive back the Deposit, whereupon this Agreement shall be null and void. If, in the event of a casualty, this Agreement shall not be terminated as in this Paragraph 12
provided, Seller shall pay or assign to Buyer at Closing all monies received or receivable from the insurance companies which wrote such policies, all claims against such insurance companies as a result of the losses covered by such policies and any
deficiency amount as described above in this Paragraph 12, less documented amounts previously expended by Seller for repair of the casualty damage.
13. Condemnation. In the event that all or part of the Property is taken by
condemnation or eminent domain proceeding between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Buyer may (a) cancel this Agreement, if the part of the Property so taken is material to the use or value of the Property, or (b) take title subject to
such condemnation or taking and receive the proceeds thereof, and Seller shall assign all of Seller’s rights to unpaid proceeds to Buyer at Closing. Buyer shall notify Seller of its election not more than fifteen (15) days after notice from Seller of
the occurrence of the condemnation or taking and the extent thereof. If Buyer shall elect to cancel this Agreement pursuant to (a) above in a timely manner, then this Agreement shall be null and void and Buyer shall be entitled to receive back the
Deposit.
14. Brokers. Seller and Buyer each represent and warrant to the other that it has
neither engaged nor dealt with any broker or finder in connection with this Agreement, other than SVN Commercial Realty ("Broker"). Seller and Buyer each agree to indemnify, save harmless and defend the other from and against all claims,
losses, liabili-ties and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, through any and all appeals, arising out of any claim made by any other broker, finder or other intermediary who claims to have been engaged by such party in connection with the
transactions contem-plated by this Agreement. Seller shall be responsible for paying Broker a commission respecting the sale of the Property pursuant to the terms of a separate agreement, and Seller further agrees to indemnify, save harmless and
defend Buyer from and against all claims, losses, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees through any and all appeals, arising out of any claim made by Broker in connection herewith. The provisions of this Paragraph 14
shall survive Closing or any prior termination of this Agreement.
15. Expansion.
(a) Seller represents that Seller has received all permits and approvals required by the
municipal, county, and state authorities, bureaus or agencies having jurisdiction (collectively, the “Governmental Authorities”) relating to the construction of a single-story, non-climate controlled building of approximately 7,300 square feet
in or about that area marked “Proposed Expansion Area” on Exhibit B (the “Expansion”), subject to submission of stamped, final drawings to the Town of Xxxxxxxxx for such Town’s review and approval.
(b) Prior to the Feasibility Study Termination Date, Buyer shall solicit bids for the
Expansion construction project from two (2) or more contractors. Within three (3) days after selecting an Expansion contractor, Buyer shall provide Seller with the name of, and contact information for, Buyer’s selected Expansion contractor (“Buyer’s
Contractor”). Seller, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, shall: (i) promptly submit to the Governmental Authorities all materials required in connection with the Expansion and, among such materials, provide the Governmental Authorities with the
name of, and contact information for, Buyer’s Contractor; (ii) diligently pursue all necessary approvals, licenses and permits associated with the Expansion (collectively, “Expansion Permits and Approvals”) from the Governmental Authorities; and
(iii) sign, execute and deliver any and all documents that may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to obtain Expansion Permits and Approvals.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for purposes of this Agreement, the
requisite Expansion Permits and Approvals shall be deemed to have been obtained only upon satisfaction of the following requirements (the “Requirements”): (i) issuance of a building permit for the Expansion by the applicable Governmental
Authority; (ii) the expiration of the period within which appeals from the Governmental Authorities’ actions can be filed without the filing of any such appeal; and (iii) each of the Expansion Permits and Approvals being in a form fully assignable to
Buyer (as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion). Seller shall notify Buyer not less than three (3) days in advance of any public meeting, conference or hearing with governmental officials in connection with the Expansion.
(d) In the event Seller is unable to obtain all Expansion Permits and Approvals prior to
the Closing Date, the parties shall proceed to Closing, but the Purchase Price shall be reduced by FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($50,000) (the “Expansion Allocation”). The Expansion Allocation shall be held in escrow by the Title Company. In the
event that, on or after the Closing Date, Seller obtains all Expansion Permits and Approvals, the Title Company shall release the Expansion Allocation to Seller within three (3) business days following the date that Seller assigns all Expansion Permits
and Approvals to Buyer.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Buyer becomes aware that
(i) Seller’s representation in Section 15(a) is inaccurate or (ii) it is impracticable for Seller to satisfy the Requirements or (iii) Seller is in default under this Paragraph 15, then Buyer shall promptly provide written notice thereof to
Seller (the “Buyer’s Notice”). Buyer shall have all rights at law and in equity to enforce this Paragraph 15 unless Seller, within forty-five (45) days after the date of the Buyer’s Notice, (A) cures any breach or default referenced in
the Buyer’s Notice, (B) obtains all Expansion Permits and Approvals and (C) assigns all Expansion Permits and Approvals to Buyer. In no event shall Buyer recover more than $50,000 in damages as a result of any Seller breach or default under this Paragraph
15.
(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Seller, using diligent efforts,
fails to obtain all Expansion Permits and Approvals within sixty (60) days after the later of (I) the Closing Date or (II) that date which Buyer provides Seller with the name and contact information for Buyer’s Contractor, Buyer shall have the right to
itself pursue any outstanding Expansion Permits and Approvals and the Expansion Allocation shall be released to Buyer.
This Paragraph 15 shall survive Closing.

FIRPTA CERTIFICATE FOR ENTITIES
Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For U.S. tax purposes (including Section
1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity. To inform the transferee that withholding of tax is not required
upon the transfer of a U.S. real property interest by ________________________ to the transferee, the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of ________________________________________:
1) ________________________ is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign
trust, or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations);
2) ________________________ is not a disregarded entity as defined in Reg.
§1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii);
3) The U.S. employer identification number of ________________________ is __________; and
4) The office address of __________________is ___________________________.
The undersigned understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by the transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine,
imprisonment, or both.
Under penalties of perjury I declare that I have examined this certification and to the best of my knowledge and belief, it is true, correct and complete, and I further declare that I have authority to
sign this document on behalf of ________________________________________.
